Observation details

First noticed it constantly diving and couldn't get photos. When it was up I could see the brownish/dusky back and sides of neck, pale lower cheek with darker cap, pale breast, long neck, and long pale bill. It eventually flew by me and I was able to get a pic. Flight shot shows limited white in the wing (vs WEGR), the dark cap has a "spur" towards the rear (straight in WEGR), leg length looks good (vs WEGR), and long slightly downturned bill. See photo.
